Say you are a marauder pilot like i am.

you play 10 official contracted matches with STB.
out of those ten matches, you lose a total of 4 marauders.

4/10=0.4

with that AE score you will see that you qualify for 100% reimbursement of marauder losses in EACH round you play in, up to a maximum of two marauders.

Say in a later round you lost 3 marauders in one round. You would only be reimbursed the 2 marauders at the end of the round, as that is the maximum compensation. That is as long as those losses dont somehow put you into a lower bracket where you would not qualify for the maximum anymore. Then you would only receive 1, or in worse cases 0.

So what is the incintive if we win just simple reimbursement of what we spent. And if a player got worked over in a few matches he would be in debt.

I'm sure I'm missing something.

Ahem...

well, some of your comments should answer themselves.....the incentive is winning. That is your payday. We win, we get big contracts. Insurance allows you to fight without worrying about your costs as long as you perform adequately. The numbers also protect STB from having to dish out money to underperforming or undedicated members.

There are failsafes both ways as you will see. Members receive full compensation should the acting leader command a unit to sacrifice himself., as well as more failsafes present in the numbers. Which might be a bit more complex.

While it sounds like a good idea, its a bit risky. It could turn off random casuals that you may have been diamonds in rough. especially if they pay in and then lose a few games. This is something you should implement with high ranking officers first to see how well it works. Test it first that way if there is internal conflict, you either tweak the contract or throw out the idea. Its almost impossible to regulate how much each member is spending on each of their drop suits fittings or what fitting they even used in battle. You don't want that internal conflict/conflict of interest, bleeding over to all your members. insurance can be a shisty business. Be careful with how you implement this and good luck.
